What is moving in banking right now — before it moves your institution.
Every week, BIS tracks the operational and technology forces reshaping banking — AI adoption, regulatory shifts, vendor moves, M&A signals — and delivers them with analysis from a 25-year insider. Before they affect your institution.
Two minutes that will change how you track the market.
Rick Mavrovich explains what the Banking Intelligence Service is, and why the timing matters.
What you will know that your competitors do not
Three disciplines. One weekly cadence. No filler.
The Weekly Intelligence Brief
Five developments that moved banking operations and technology this week. Not headlines reprinted from American Banker. The connections between events — AI deployments, vendor contracts, regulatory shifts, M&A signals — that will affect how your institution competes in the next 90 days.

Same-Day Alerts
(Coming Soon)
When a material event breaks — a regulatory filing, a vendor acquisition, a major contract award — you receive it the day it happens. Not Thursday. Not when it appears in the trade press. The gap between knowing first and knowing last is where competitive position is won and lost.
Monthly Signal Recap
At the end of each month: the developments that defined the past 30 days, what they signal for the next quarter, and what your institution should be watching. The weekly brief captures the event. The monthly recap captures the pattern — and patterns are where strategy lives.
You probably already get Gartner.
Here is why BIS sits on a different shelf.

BIS
“Gartner tells you what the landscape looks like. McKinsey tells you what to do about last year’s problem. BIS tells you what moved this week and what it means for your institution.”

This service is not for everyone
It is written for banking executives, consultants, and investors who understand that the forces reshaping banking operations and technology do not wait for the next planning cycle.
Bank CEOs, COOs, and CTOs who track the operational and technology forces affecting their institution — and cannot afford to be the last person in the room to know what the market is doing.
Consultants and advisors whose credibility depends on knowing what is happening in banking technology and operations before their clients ask about it.
Investors tracking banking technology and fintech who understand that the signals worth acting on rarely appear in press releases — and never appear there first.
Anyone who has ever learned what was happening in banking technology and operations a week after it mattered — and decided that would not happen again.

Rick Mavrovich
Rick Mavrovich has spent 25 years advising banks on operations and technology — the vendor decisions, the regulatory exposures, the competitive moves that determine whether an institution leads or follows. He has sat in those rooms. He has read the contracts. The Banking Intelligence Service is his attempt to make that knowledge available to more than one client at a time.
Every week, the banking market moves. The executives who track it make better decisions than the ones who do not. The founding cohort closes when it fills, after that, the rate is $499/month and this window will not reopen.
